Technical Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a confirming unit, and a controller. The acquiring unit acquires a text recognition result with respect to a first image showing a document and a certainty factor indicating a certainty of the text recognition result. The confirming unit confirms the text recognition result if the certainty factor is above or equal to a threshold value. The controller controls an output of a warning for the text recognition result with respect to the first image in a case where the text recognition result and a text recognition result with respect to a second image showing a relevant document related to the document do not match even when the certainty factor is above or equal to the threshold value.

Patent Claims
11 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a processor that is configured to acquire a text recognition result with respect to a first image showing a document and a certainty factor indicating a certainty of the text recognition result; and confirm the text recognition result if the certainty factor is above or equal to a threshold value; and a controller that controls an output of a warning for the text recognition result with respect to the first image in a case where the text recognition result and a text recognition result with respect to a second image showing a relevant document related to the document do not match even when the certainty factor is above or equal to the threshold value, wherein the document includes text handwritten by an inscriber, and wherein the relevant document is related to the inscriber.

2

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the document and the relevant document each include a text string for identifying the inscriber.

3

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the output of the warning based on the text recognition result with respect to the first image and a text recognition result with respect to printed text shown in the second image.

4

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the output of the warning based on the text recognition result with respect to the first image and text recognition results with respect to a plurality of second images showing a plurality of relevant documents.

5

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of relevant documents are of different types.

6

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , the processor is further configured to: set a relevant document that is included in the plurality of relevant documents and that is used for correcting the text recognition result with respect to the first image as a document used for a comparison with a text recognition result with respect to a subsequent first image.

7

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the output of the warning based on a text recognition result with respect to text having an identical attribute in the first image and the second image.

8

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the first image and the second image each have a predetermined attribute, the controller controls the output of the warning for the text recognition result with respect to the first image if the text recognition result with respect to the first image and the text recognition result with respect to the second image do not match even when the certainty factor is above or equal to the threshold value.

9

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control that the text recognition result with respect to the first image is corrected according to the text recognition result with respect to the second image.

10

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising: acquiring a text recognition result with respect to a first image showing a document and a certainty factor indicating a certainty of the text recognition result; confirming the text recognition result if the certainty factor is above or equal to a threshold value; and controlling an output of a warning for the text recognition result with respect to the first image in a case where the text recognition result and a text recognition result with respect to a second image showing a relevant document related to the document do not match even when the certainty factor is above or equal to the threshold value, wherein the document includes text handwritten by an inscriber, and wherein the relevant document is related to the inscriber.

11

11. An information processing method comprising: acquiring a text recognition result with respect to a first image showing a document and a certainty factor indicating a certainty of the text recognition result; confirming the text recognition result if the certainty factor is above or equal to a threshold value; and controlling an output of a warning for the text recognition result with respect to the first image in a case where the text recognition result and a text recognition result with respect to a second image showing a relevant document related to the document do not match even when the certainty factor is above or equal to the threshold value, wherein the document includes text handwritten by an inscriber, and wherein the relevant document is related to the inscriber.
